Data were collected with a well-structured questionnaire from 476 randomly selected rice farmers and were analyzed using a combination of analytical tools such as descriptive statistics, Analysis of variance, correlation and z-test. The information on ICT tools/format accessibility revealed that out of all the accessible ICT tools/format, only Radio set, Television, Mobile Phone, Short Message Services, and On-line Magazines were effectively used. It was discovered that rice farmers have a low knowledge on the use of ICT in their rice farms.
